Why didn't they just ban meepo

 

[shira]

GO ANIME!

Why didn't they just ban meepo

 

[neurosisxeno]

Why didn't they just ban meepo

They've got one of the best Meepo players in the world--better save last ban for Meepo.

Panic Draft confirmed. Might as well put Zfreek as support Mag at this point. It's your best bet coL.

BLOODSEEKER?!@#$> WHAT?!@#$?>

woke up from sleep and np is gone LUL

We don't have a blyatcyka emoji

 

[neurosisxeno]

Is that a Zfreek position 4 Jungle BS? What?

Committing way too much of Slardar's time to interrupting Bloodseeker. He's still out-csing Abaddon with no exp or gold for Slardar...

 

[LucidMomentum]

https://clips.twitch.tv/JazzyGracefulShieldTF2John

Lmao, but I agree Slardar is spending too much time on BS.

 

[neurosisxeno]

HoD for everyone!

No real answer for Meepo at this point in the game. They need BB and OD to farm more.

Jesus fuck wtf was this kid doing wasting his life in the Philippines

[shira]

Yall not going to ban meepo in a game 3 decider?

Phase 1 bans
Dazzle, LD

Phase 2 bans
Naix, Tinker

My 1k brain can't even comprehend the thinking

 

[neurosisxeno]

Funny thing is their lineup would do great against most of those heroes--yet they let Meepo through?

EDIT: Holy shit that Meepo exploded...

 

[shira]

Bulba just tweeted

Spoiler

[Quonny]

GO ONYX

FUCK COMPLEXITY

Kill me.

 

[Sigismundo]

The BTS panel seems to be in a bit of mild shock.

 

[bbd23]

Mason is back at a valve event!

 

[shira]

Mason is back at a valve event!

And with that CC&C quits Dota.

Too bad he's 8.5k

coL dropped the ball so hard with that Game 3 draft. You ALWAYS ban Meepo against Abed. Shit I would first ban Meepo against them...

Can someone PM me the Match ID for NA Game 3? Had to help my parents clear out carpet for hardwood flooring so I didn't watch it, and the game isn't anywhere in client for me to watch? I click on the Major tab and there is nothing there except for dates and $3,000,000 grand prize info

Ya, but I was trying to avoid spoilers, but then after I put in the ID shira gave me it pulled up the scoreboard lul

Well, can't wait to see the game whenever the replay is available. Hoping everyone else knows ya gotta ban Maapo now.

 

[Qvoth]

Hi guys.

You missed the weeb meltdown yesterday

God I love the FGC so much.

We need some black casters.

This is just sad af https://clips.twitch.tv/NastyBloodyNarwhalDogFace

And yes, The International 2017 will be hosted in Seattle, WA this year too. #TI7

We invite all dedicated cosplayers to craft their best Dota-themed costumes and make the journey to Seattle in August for the Main Event of The International.

RIP Non-American teams

RIP Non-American teams

Miracle might have some issues. Wasn't Jordan on the list?

 

[Chris R]

Would love to know the exact dates for TI7.... thinking I won't make it this year though

edit: ya 7th-12th would not work for me at all right now

 

[rakkadakka]

Miracle might have some issues. Wasn't Jordan on the list?

No they aren't.

He won't be banned from coming but he will almost certainly get a shake down at the airport.

 

[shira]

No they aren't.

I'm sure it's going to be tough for any foreign-newish players that are not established e-sports athletes

Anyone know why it keeps going to showcase view when I scroll up with my mouse wheel, even though I removed that function? Keep accidentally doing it, and it fucks me up.

Did you accidentally bind it to showcase view? Check your options and make sure you didn't. If you want to unbind showcase view (I would since you don't really need it in gameplay and if you really want to use it, you can just click the button on the hero portrait), just click the binding for it and hit Esc.

 

[rakkadakka]

I'm sure it's going to be tough for any foreign-newish players that are not established e-sports athletes

It's going to be tough for anyone with a funny name or that visited one of the countries on the list.

E-Sports or not, even American citizens are having problems getting through customs if they fit the right profile.

Still broken, ended up putting Mouse Wheel Up on 'Select Hero' just to get it away from such an annoying function

Shouldn't have any drawbacks. Hopefully anyway
